☀️ How to Transition Your Hair for Summer
Summer is all about sunshine, beach days, and spontaneous adventures — but your hair might not be as excited as you are. The heat, humidity, chlorine, and UV rays can take a serious toll on your strands if you’re not prepared.
At Cabello, we’re all about helping you look and feel your best year-round. Here are our top expert tips to help you transition your hair into the sunny season, damage-free and glowing.
1. Trim Off the Old to Make Room for the New
Start your summer hair journey with a fresh trim. Whether it’s just a dusting of dry ends or a bold new cut, getting rid of damage before the season kicks off sets you up for success. Summer is also a great time to go shorter for an easy, breezy style.
💡 Ask your stylist about lightweight, layered cuts that reduce bulk and work well in humidity!
2. Switch to Moisture-Rich Products
Humidity and sun exposure can dehydrate your hair fast. Swap your shampoo and conditioner for ones that are sulfate-free and infused with hydrating ingredients like coconut oil, shea butter, or aloe vera.
✨ Pro Tip: Ask us about our summer product picks — we’ll help you find the right ones for your hair type.
3. Protect Your Hair from the Sun
Just like your skin, your hair and scalp need sun protection. Use leave-in conditioners or sprays with built-in UV filters to prevent colour fading, dryness, and brittleness.
☂️ Bonus: Hats are your friend. A wide-brimmed hat protects your hair, face, and neck in one stylish swoop.
4. Rinse Before and After the Pool
Before diving into the pool or ocean, rinse your hair with clean tap water. Hair soaked with fresh water is less likely to absorb damaging chlorine or salt.
After swimming, rinse again and apply a leave-in treatment to rehydrate and protect
5. Try a Seasonal Colour Refresh
Sunlight naturally lightens your hair, which can lead to uneven tones. A quick glaze, gloss, or colour-refreshing treatment can keep your shade vibrant and consistent all summer long.
🎨 Thinking about going lighter? Ask us about balayage, sun-kissed highlights, or money-piece framing!
6. Embrace Heat-Free Styles
Let your hair rest from flat irons and blow dryers. Summer is the perfect time to rock natural textures, soft braids, buns, or beachy waves.
